cheaper from ccl directly rather than the ebay link posted yesterday. used the 120 version of this myself on my last build and was impressed.
this is a bargain at this price point.

I wouldn't. You might get an extra 100MHz out of your CPU with this cooler over what you'd get from, say, an Evo 212, but it's at the expense of significantly more noise, and the usual pitfalls and dangers associated with liquid cooling.

The Aio kits help reduce the likely hood of some of those pitfalls though. Am tempted as my case doesn't allow for big heat sinks

It depends on your use case, right?
I have two mITX gaming rigs. One of them uses an AIO watercooler, the advantage in an mITX build is that the hot air from the CPU is exhausted directly out of the case and isn't recirculated around the rest of the system.
Also I'd like to note, I was one of the very few people who had an older H100i leak a few years back. Corsair paid for all the damage the cooler did to my system and sent me the newer H100i V2 which has a different tubing/water-block design.

I shouldn't be tempted by this as I have the 120V model and a Mini-ITX case......but that is a really good price. Comparable performance and quality to more expensive units from Corsair at a lower price seems hot to me :laughing:

Put that money towards a better case and use air cooling

even tho the chance off leaks is very rare i would not risk it my whole system buy a evo

Pumps are loud on these things too. This is a good price, but you're better off with a good chunky air cooler
